An account of real-life disaster during an ascent of Mount Everest, based on the bestselling novel by Jon Krakauer.
Into Thin Air is a riveting first-hand account of a catastrophic expedition up Mount Everest. In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day eight people were dead. Krakauer's book is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape. As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads readers to ponder timeless questions.
难道不是吗?很久以前看的...奥...好像书里Rob没死是不是?记不太清了。但这个情节是记得的,别人的给安上了?或者跟别的书串了?待我有空在看一遍。anyway,thanks for introduce movie。另外,还有一部非常好看的movie,叫"touching the void"是讲登peru最高峰的,感觉比这部拍的好,有兴趣可以看一下。
